Little Leads
Americans In
British Open
MUIRFIELD, Scotland, July 1
—(AP)— America’s shotmakers,
off to a scrambiing start, must
show plenty of improvement to
day if they’re to have a chance
for the British Open Golf Cham-~
pionship. o
All nine of the United States’
hopes ran intc stretches of erra
tic play—mosty on the putting
greens—yesterday in the Tirst
18-hole tour of the 72-hole me
dal test.
Lawson Little turned in the
top American performance—A
72, three strokes back of the
lead—while Frank Stranahan of
Toledo, 0., the British Amateur
winner, registered a horrendous
7'l e e
; Best Hustle ~
Other American scores were
strung between those two scores,
meaning many of the boys will
have to step if they’re to quali
fy for the final 36 holes.
The field will be reduced to
forty after the rounds today. The
experts figured anything over
148 for the two rounds might not
‘make it.
The first round pace-setters
were Sam. ‘King and Charlie
Ward, members of last year’s
British Ryder cup team, and
Flory Van Donck, a rangy Bel
gian, who shared 69’s.
V.F.W. Best
Power Team;
Nash Winner
BY CURTIS DRISKELL
A hustling V. F. W. team mov
ed into a first place tie in the
second half standings of the City
Softball League by knocking
over the faltering Georgia Power
nine, last night, 4-3.
Willis Nash turned in a very
neat four-hit job for the Vets,
walked only three men. Randall
Bedgood went the route for the
Powermen, giving up six hits and
waking four.
The V_ F W, scored all four of
their runs in the first inning on
two hits, two walks, a Georgia
Power error, and to fielder’s
choices, and protected that lead
to win the game, Bobby James
with two singles in two trips and
a walk was the hitter of the game.
Choke Wins, 6-3
Choke’s Cleaners strengthened
their grip on he top place in
the first half race by beating a
stubborn Athens Refrigeration
uine, 6-3. The Cleaners were
forced to come from behind to
take the game, but a timely home
run by Uke Cape added one run
in the third ' inning, and the
Chokesmen went on to add an
other in the fourth and four big
ones in the fifth. “Dee” Allen
went the whole wayv for Choke’s
and rationed out thiree base hits
among the “Revamped Coolers.”
Johnny Heartman allowed seven
hits and took the loss for Refrig
eration.
Bell’s Food Market led the
Athens Manufacturing Company
all the way and chalked up a
7-5 wverdict to begin the second
half with a clean slate. Fitzpat
rick scattered five hits among
the Manufacturers and was never
in trouble. Flanagan’s inside-the
park home run was the ongest
blow of ‘he game.
Sciredule
Three more games are slated
for tonight at the Park, the first
heginning at 6:15, Southern Bell,
riding a winning streak, will
meet the second half co.leaders,
Choke’s Cleaners, in the feat
ure game of the night.
